mpic build failure for 7447_hpc defconfig (bisected)

[Paul Gortmaker]

Commit 446f6d06fab0b49c61887ecbe8286d6aaa796637 ("powerpc/mpic: Properly
set default triggers") breaks the mpc7447_hpc_defconfig as follows:

  CC      arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.o
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_set_irq_type':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:886:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:890:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:894:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:898:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant

Looking at the cpp output (gcc 4.7.3 from the kernel.org toolchains), I see:

   case mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_VECPRI_SENSE_EDGE] |
        mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_VECPRI_POLARITY_POSITIVE]:

The pointer into an array appears because CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD=y is set for
this thing.

-------------------
  #ifdef CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD
  static u32 mpic_infos[][MPIC_IDX_END] = {
        [0] = { /* Original OpenPIC compatible MPIC */

  [...]

  #define MPIC_INFO(name) mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_##name]

  #else /* CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD */

  #define MPIC_INFO(name) MPIC_##name

  #endif /* CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD */
-------------------


Given it has been broken since 3.4-rc5, is it safe to say MPIC_WEIRD is dead
and unused?  Or should the case be converted to if/else or similar?  Or were
other versions of gcc actually able to "see" constant numbers?

Paul.
